Great kitchens need great leaders.
That’s where you come in.
If you’re the kind of chef who leads from the front, obsesses over the details, and takes pride in building teams — you’ll fit in here.
Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re committed to excellence and the people behind it.
THE WHY
Sushi by Scratch Restaurants believes great kitchens come from great leadership. When leaders are supported, their teams thrive — and that impact shows up in every guest’s experience.
We run organized kitchens. We care about standards. We communicate clearly. We show up for our teams, day in and day out.
Our culture is professional, focused, supportive — and fun!
We believe chefs are made through mentorship, guidance, repetition, and refinement. Everyone here is aligned toward the same goal: consistency, craft, leadership, and great hospitality.
The expectation is simple: be prepared, be respectful, and lead with pride.
